BERKLEY — Berkley Town Administrator Matthew Chabot and Berkley Board of Selectmen Chairwoman Tabitha McCrohan are providing an update regarding an incident involving a town official and town financial matters.
“The Town of Berkley was recently made aware of an incident involving the sudden closure of a Town bank account at First Citizens’ Federal Credit Union in Raynham. This closure was allegedly undertaken by the immediate past Town Treasurer, who was recently defeated for re-election, and whose term had ended.
“After investigating the matter at our request, the Raynham Police Department has determined that no criminal activity occurred.
“The Town of Berkley is working with the state Department of Revenue and Division of Local Services to take the proper steps to complete the transfer of Town Treasurers and put in place proper controls needed to ensure the smooth transfer of positions moving forward.”
